Eighty-year-old Jake reluctantly returns to Normandy, France for the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion. While revisiting the beach he landed on decades ago, Jake meets Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts.

Written and performed by Julia Mackey, this multi-award winning play celebrates the healing power of friendship and the legacy of remembrance.

Jake’s Gift has recently been named Best of Fest at Winnipeg’s Fringe Festival, and has received 5 star ratings out of 5 from CBC, the Winnipeg Free Press, the Winnipeg Sun and Winnipeg’s Uptown magazine.
